Consignment Of Second-Hand Luxury Goods Shop Where To Go?

On a cold Wednesday afternoon, the most attractive Victoire Boyer Chammard was the silver buckle of the wallet and the size of the metal plate that was pinned to the cloth.

Chammard is an accreditation expert for Vestiaire Collective, a social shopping website.

The cream colored bag was about 100th Hermes on her desk that day.

A real Hermes bag can sell US $15000 on this website.

"There are lettering, you can see" Herm s ", but the word is not perfect," she said. "H and E both repeat.

But this is not a problem, because it is an old product. "

Within minutes, she reasoned that the bag was manufactured in 1980.

"We need to see 200 things a day," she said. "So you have a pair of eyes."

Chammard is one of the more than twelve certifications and quality inspectors hired by Vestiaire, whose aim is to ensure that the luxuries sold on the website are truly luxuries.

This website is a second-hand trading platform. It has three million members, forming a special buyer and seller class.

The price of each consignment of Chanel and C e line is determined by the seller. Chammard and her colleagues check every item before delivery, and find out the counterfeit or too tattered goods carefully.

"We hope to bring inspiration and trust: trust from buyers, and perhaps from the prestige of sellers."

Vestiaire CEO S e Bastien Fabre said.

In the 2009 year of the year, the former Microsoft executive and Sophie Hersan founded the company together.

Fabre said that their website is already in France.

It has been popular with Germany for many years. Recently, it has become more and more popular in the United States, especially for celebrities who are influential in fashion and news media. They have many luxury things, but they may not be able to wear them all at once, let alone wear them several times.

"You don't need to do anything, and you will never have a lot of idle things in your house."

She is a fashion stylist and Vestiaire VIP customer.

She is so enthusiastic about the website that the company has invited her to become the fashion director of the company next month.

Vestiaire has about 30 VIP customers in the United States and 400 in the world. This special appointment means that once Foley has something to sell, the company will send a representative to her home to release the goods and arrange for mailing, sales and shipping.

"Then you will get the money," she said.

They also get money, and they charge about 25% Commission for every item they sell.

Vestiaire is one of many online shops that sell second-hand high-end clothing and accessories.

The famous competitor in the industry is the RealReal, a luxury luxury trading platform based in San Francisco.

But at least for now, Vestiaire is a website frequented by fickle fashion elites.

"It doesn't feel like second-hand goods," Foley said. "It gives people the impression that you can't find beautiful and luxurious goods."

Martha Ward is a fashion stylist in Britain. She has been shopping on Vestiaire website for two years.

"Very often, women who are very rich buy too many things, but they simply don't have the chance to wear them," she said. "Even the labels on those things are still there. This is really special.

It's a cliche, but the old saying is true: a girl's garbage is another girl's treasure.

The name of the company reads "vest-tea-air", the company's founder said, which means it is looking for a certain customer base.

"This word means" wardrobe, "said Fanny Moizant Moizant, director of the European division." but it is more unique.

We have other French words, but this is called by insiders.

Fabre continued, "Collective" explains the common side of business.

We know that international expansion is very painful, but we feel that people have realized that we are French.
